felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes

[beebeenator]

does anyone know where i can get those fancy felt linings used for the interion of jewelry boxes?

i am going to be making some boxes for my ninongs and ninangs.

I dont wasnt them to get a hard bottom and side boxes hehehe i dont think it would matter if its dovetails/box jointed if the inside isnt .... carpety :)

I am thinking of national ... but i havent ventured there yet (almost ever since i graduated) which was not long ago..... buwahahahaha

Those felt products that you could buy in bookstores are "felt papers" From the name itself the backing material is paper. What you'll need is velvet textile which looks like felt paper but backed with cloth.

yeah i was thinking of the felt paper.

If i were to use the textile, how can i attach it to the box? Please dont tell me contact cement :( i still dont like that stuff hehe

I think hot glue is used. Sorry I've no idea where to get the cloth though.

i hate glue guns too...

or maybe i just hate glues that you cant wipe off clean... thats why i like wood glue:)

Or you may use fabric glue like "Sew No More" from Bostik. I have tried that and It holds well specially for your project.

This is a 'big' cloth store. They have many different kinds of cloth ... except what I was looking for, which is nylon (cloth not mesh), e.g., ripstop, Cordura, ballistic.
